Secure SHell for Alfred 3 Open SSH/SFTP/mosh connections from Alfred with autosuggestions based on SSH config files, /etc/hosts and your history. Features Auto-suggest hostnames from ~/.ssh/* and /etc/hosts (sources can be individually disabled). Remembers usernames, so you don't have to type them in every time. (You can also remove connections from your history or disable it entirely.) Alternate actions: - Open connection with mosh instead of SSH. - Open SFTP connection instead of SSH. - Ping host. Data sources The workflow reads hosts from the following sources (in this order of priority): ~/.ssh/config History (i.e. username + host addresses previously entered by the user) ~/.ssh/known_hosts /etc/hosts /etc/ssh/ssh_config Installation Download from Packal or GitHub releases and double-click the file to install in Alfred. Source code is on GitHub. Usage Keyword is ssh: ssh [<query>] — View and filter known SSH connections. - ↩ or ⌘+<NUM> — Open the connection. - ⇥ — Expand query to selected connection's title. Useful for adding a port number. - ⌘+↩ — Open an SFTP connection instead. - ⌘+⌥ — Open a mosh connection instead. - ⇧+↩ — Ping host. - ^+↩ — Forget connection (if it's from history). Configuration There are several options available in the workflow's configuration sheet. Notably, you can turn off individual autosuggestion sources. Please see the GitHub README for details. Please note: The workflow generates an ssh:// (or sftp://) URL and asks Alfred to open it. Similarly, the ping and mosh features uses Alfred 3's Terminal Command feature. If it's not opening in the right app, it's not the workflow's fault. Licencing & thanks This workflow is released under the MIT Licence. It uses the following libraries and resources: The icon is based on Octicons by Github (SIL Licence). ssh_config (MIT Licence) to parse SSH config files. awgo (MIT Licence) for the workflowy stuff. This workflow started as a port of @isometry's Python SSH workflow to Go as a testbed for awgo. It has since gained some additional features.
